This is a 1979 advertisement for the MicroNOVA MP/100 computer from Data General. This machine came with 32 kW of memory, and no, that’s not a typo. kW stands for Kilowords. How much memory is that? 2.44e-1 Bytes. Contemplate that while you read this post on your phone. It looks like they mounted the skateboard trucks directly to an empty case. It’s got a pretty small wheelbase. This is what passed for a microcomputer in 1977, when this machine first came out.

It probably cost a small fortune back then.
